12-23-07 – GorillazGorillaz

02-09-07 – Next Position PleaseCheap Trick
Two words: Robin Zander. OK, and it’s produced by Todd Rundgren and that doesn’t hurt my feelings any either.

02-03-07 – Not Too LateNorah Jones
After her amazing debut, I was disappointed in her second album, but this collection from the Texas songbird is stellar! Norah’s back!

01-30-07 – Audio-VisionsKansas

01-18-07 – WarsawaPorcupine Tree

My favorite current band!

09-29-06 – Central ReservationBeth Orton

 

09-28-06 – About FaceDavid Gilmour

 

09-17-06 – ContinuumJohn Mayer

His new release. Just listened last night and it makes “Room for Squares” look lame by comparison. This is going to be a favorite before too long. John tips his hat to the guitar greats who came before while being completely original and fresh.
